Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 zooko]:
 > Our long-term plan to fix this problem is to make it so that uploads
 don't wait for a long time to get a response from a specific server but
 instead fail-over to another server. That's #873 (upload: tolerate lost or
 unacceptably slow servers).

 From the description, the case at hand seems to be mutable download.

 Will this be addressed by the New Downloader, or does that only handle
 immutable download?
